8th Grade Girl Hits Principle From Behind
This violent incident, in a North Philadelphia elementary school, gives credence to the saying about Philly, ‘where boys are men, and so are the girls.’Â
The assault on the principal, which triggered one arrest, happened at Kenderton Elementary, a K-8 school in North Philadelphia, when Robin Wilkins tried to break up a scuffle between a seventh-grade girl and eighth-grade girl.
“The eighth grader ran up from behind and punched the principal in the back and shoulder area, knocking her to the ground,” district spokeswoman Felecia Ward said.

Test Your Black Political History IQ
I only wish I had come across this website last month for Black History Month. Nevertheless, this information is not only timeless but, for the most part, untold. Check out this history test.

Right After You Schumer
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) feels that A.G. Gonzalez should resign for illegal snooping 
into people’s private lives. This is the same guy who, as head of the Senate Democrat Campaign Committee, brushed aside the issue of people in his office that were caught illegally obtaining the credit background of republican senate challenger, Maryland’s Lt. Gov. Michael Steele. And the MSM gave him a total pass.
“And so this department has been so political that I think for the sake of the nation, Attorney General Gonzales should step down,” Schumer said.
What’s good for the goose . . .

Democrats Run From Debate
And the Edwards Campaign wants Fox Cash.First came Coulter Cash, now it’s Fox Cash. By denying the fact that democrats have chosen not to participate in a Fox-sponsored debate in Nevada, where the candidates can stand on their own two feet to make their case as to why people should be interested in voting for them, the Breck Girl is characterizing news of that fact as an attack. It’s not an attack. It’s called news.
it’s an insult to the voters, and the height of cynicism, for candidates to refuse to take the public stage and subject themselves to public scrutiny.
The above is a Dennis Kucinich quote on the subject. Nevertheless, the Edwards Campaign is appealing to their minions to pony up donations to ‘strike back.’ In other words, they’ve chosen not to play. They are taking their ball and going home. Most ridiculous item of the day? You bet. Can you see it coming? Next it’ll be Blog Cash.
“Speak English” Sign Deemed Discriminatory?
In America? In Philadelphia? Yes. Revisiting the Geno’s Steaks saga that started in May 2006, last month the Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations has notified Joey Vento that his novelty sign that reads “This is America, when ordering speak English” is discriminatory. Now Mr. Vento has to defend his constitutional right to free speech against the City of Brotherly Love. 
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that Vento “has enlisted the support of the Southeastern Legal Foundation, a conservative public-interest law firm in Atlanta.”
The complaint is patently ridiculous for two reasons other than we are talking about ink on paper, constitutionally protected free speech. First, no person has ever been refused service for not speaking English so, there are no “victims” of discrimination. Vento says if they can’t speak it, they just point to the picture of the sandwich he has at the counter, and they do business. Second, if someone can’t speak the language, how the hell could they read the sign in the first place to, ostensibly, be offended or discriminated against? There is no case.
It is a great case of harassment by city officials with way too much time and money on their hands.
UPDATE: March 21, 2008, Geno’s Steaks Prevails
Misc Drivel
My first reaction to the largest lottery ever winners is that the winner who bought the ticket at a liquor store in Woodbine, NJ is not in this country legally. The Woodbine area is host to migrant workers who work the farm fields and service-related jobs in the hospitality industry. Eh, we’ll see.
 
How long before the makers of HEAD-On (for headaches) and ACTIVE-On (for muscle aches) delve into the lucrative ED market? The name would be a natural, HARD-On. It’s taylor made for a Saturday Night Live skit.

U.N. Wants New Resolution On Iran
It’s deja vu all over again. I’m not sure where the count is on the number of U.N. resolutions that have been ignored by Iran and not enforced by the UN, but true to form, the UN is calling for yet another as Iran ignores the previous resolutions to halt the enrichment of uranium.
During a conference call on Saturday, the diplomats decided that Security Council ambassadors should take over the discussion of elements for a new resolution . . .
Wang said there was no draft resolution yet, only “ideas and elements,” but he thought it would involve another 60-day deadline.
There is a consensus to adopt ‘incremental’ sanctions. Iran can expect years of incremental-ism and negotiations. More and more negotiations, to come up with more and more resolutions, plays into the hands of Ahmadinejad by giving him the time he needs to develop a nuclear weapon. Enriched uranium is not required to make electricity. It is required to make a nuclear bomb however.
